Answer 1

I assume you mean Charles Cornwallis, not Corn Wallace.

Charles Cornwallis, 1st Marques Cornwallis (31 December 1738 - 5 October 1805, in Ghazipur, Uttar Pradesh) was an English military commander and colonial governor. In the United States, he is best remembered as a British general in the American Revolutionary War. His 1781 defeat by a combined American-French force at the Siege of Yorktown is generally considered the end of the War, although minor skirmishes continued for another two years. In India, where he served two terms as Governor-General, he is remembered for promulgating the Permanent Settlement.

Answer 6

General Charles Cornwallis

British General and colonial governor Charles Cornwallis was born on Dec. 31, 1738, and died on Oct. 5, 1805. Cornwallis was the eldest son of the 1st Earl Cornwallis. Educated at Eton and Clare College, Cambridge, he became an Ensign in the 1st (Grenadier) Guards just before his 18th birthday.

Cornwallis attended the military academy at Turin, and while serving in Germany during the Seven Years' War rose to Lieutenant Colonel. On succeeding to his father's title as 2d Earl in 1762, Cornwallis became active politically with the Whigs and took his seat in the House of Lords where his abilities and connections led to appointments as Aide-de-Camp to the King, Chief Circuit Court Justice south of the Trent River, and Joint Vice-Treasurer of Ireland. He was sympathetic to the grievances of the American Colonists and voted against the Declaratory Act in 1766.

Although opposed to the measures that provoked the American Revolution, he accepted as a duty a command in North America with the rank of Major General. During the American Revolution Cornwallis served with distinction. He aided the British victory at the Battle of Long Island on Aug. 27–28, 1776. Later that year he pursued Washington's army across New Jersey, halting at New Brunswick on orders from Gen. William Howe. Hurrying forward again after Washington's victory at Trenton on Dec. 26, 1776, Cornwallis failed to entrap the patriots and went into winter quarters. Cornwallis was largely responsible for the British victory at Brandywine, Pa., Sept. 11, 1777, and led British forces into Philadelphia on the 28th.

After a brief visit to England he returned as a Lieutenant General, second in command to Sir Henry Clinton. He opposed the evacuation of Philadelphia but accompanied the British Army on its retreat to New York and repulsed the Americans under Gen. Charles Lee at the Battle of Monmouth on June 28, 1778. He again returned to England to attend his ill wife, who died in 1779, but rejoined Clinton in August 1779 and participated in the siege of Charleston, S.C. (April 1–May 12, 1780). When the city fell, Clinton returned to New York. Cornwallis took command of British forces in the South.

On Aug. 16, 1780, at Camden, S. C., Cornwallis (left) routed the army of Gen. Horatio Gates. He boldly pursued the Americans, now commanded by Gen. Nathanael Greene, but Patriot victories at King's Mountain (Oct. 7, 1780) and Cowpens (Jan. 17, 1781) sapped his reserves so that he marched to the coast and entrenched at Yorktown, Va. Surrounded by a superior force of French and American troops, he surrendered on Oct. 19, 1781, virtually ending the war.

Answer 7

I prefer hair which is shoulder length or longer, And also since that men who like women are more often then not straight, they like long hair because it looks more feminine, as most men have short hair.
